1st time back since it was nicely remodeled. New presentation of menu. Had a late weekday breakfast here with 8 others, just before the lunch rush. We were happy with our food. It was tasty, chips & salsa & coffee were fresh too. Large portions. Our server took our order, brought our food & never checked on us. Sadly, our drinks, coffee & salsa were never refilled.

Server was nice. I went to eat when it was slower so I thought I would be served more frequently. I never had anyone come ask if i need anything. No napkins or anything else. The food needs taste. It looks great but lack of taste

Shout out to Ana, our waitress. She went above and beyond to serve us. Drinks are good and strong. Pastor fries were good. Molcajete wasn’t all that. Sauce needed more flavor. Meat itself was tender.

We’ve lived in Norwalk for many years and passed this restaurant but never ate here. Always many cars. We finally decided to come and have dinner/ happy hour. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. Great presentation, taste, and very good portions for the happy hour menu. The decor is beautiful and finally THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT- our waitress was Michelle. We will definitely be coming back here more often.

Very clean and beautiful restuarant. The staff were incredibly nice and the food was amazing. The only complaint I could have about this place was that the music playing inside was pretty loud to where i could barely hear the person next to me talking. But other than that, would highly recommend this restaurant and go there again

We have been here a few times. It seems to get better every time. We have tried several dishes, but I am partial to the Chile Rellenos. Mrs P had the shrimp tacos gubernador. Very good. They were installing a huge TV wall when we went last. Sometimes it can get loud in there. But the food is great.
